Once upon a global pandemic, two souls found each other on Hinge. Stephanie and Garrett's story began with a clever message: Garrett, analyzing Stephanie’s profile, casually mentioned he was a Red Sox season ticket holder – conveniently leaving out his deep-rooted loyalty to the Yankees. It was a small gesture that piqued Stephanie’s interest, and the spark between them was undeniable. After that first conversation, it didn’t take long for them to exchange numbers and delete their profiles – there was no turning back. For the next six weeks, they spent countless hours talking on the phone and FaceTiming – so many hours, in fact, that their very first phone call lasted a remarkable six hours! As they connected more deeply, Garrett finally asked Stephanie out on their first date. With the world still shut down, they opted for a simple but perfect stroll along the Milford bike path. That moment marked the beginning of something special. From there, they spent the rest of the pandemic exploring local bike paths, enjoying each other's company, and falling deeper in love with every step they took together. Almost five years later, Garrett and Stephanie’s journey has been filled with travel, countless coffee dates, the addition of their beloved pup Remy, and the recent milestone of closing on their first home—just five minutes away from the Milford bike path, where it all began. Through it all, they’ve walked hand in hand, discovering the world and deepening their faith together. As they embark on their forever together, their love story is a testament to finding your person, even in the most unexpected of times. From a pandemic beginning to a lifetime of love, adventure, and cherished moments, Stephanie and Garrett's journey continues, filled with excitement for the next chapter. Stephanie and Garrett are incredibly blessed and grateful to have each and every one of you in their lives. They want to extend their deepest thanks to all of their family and friends for playing such a special part in their love story. Your love, support, and presence mean the world to them, and they truly couldn’t imagine celebrating this unforgettable day without you!
